Lyrics

intro

When I had you

I treated you bad

Wrong my dear

But since, since you went away

Don`t you know I sit around

With my head hanging down

And I wonder who`s loving you

Oooh, my first mistake was

I wanted too much time

I had to have him morning, noon, and night

If I would of known then

The things that I know now

I might not have lost the time I complain about

chorus

Don`t waste your time

Fighting blind minded thoughts of dispair

Hold on to your love

You gotta hold on

Hold on to your love

Ooh, ooh, baby hold on

Hold on to your love

You gotta hold on

Hold on to your love

The art of playing games now

Is not the hearts you break

It`s bound to good love you make

When it`s heart`s on fire

Give him love evryday

Remember he needs space

Be patient and he`ll give his heart to you

chorus

Trust and honesty too

Must be the golden rule

You`ll feel the strength of passion in your soul

Burn so deeply within

Ooh, the magic that you share

So sacrifice and show how much you care

chorus

ad lib:

Keep the ties

Hang on tight

And don`t let go

No, no, no, no

If you need him

Just keep on

Just keep on hanging on

Little trust, honesty, golden rules

Feel the strength of passion in your soul

It`s burning so deep

Have faith

Just keep the fire burning at home

Hey yea

He`ll come home to you

He`ll be there for you

He`ll want to have you
